It seems like the Utah Jazz, now entering their fourth full season because the Deron Williams trade changed the roster’s framework, should have taken the proverbial next step by now.
Derrick Favors ought to have morphed to a elite warden of this paint, Enes Kanter must have become a consistent starter and Gordon Hayward–he of this hefty four-year, $63 million contract–ought to be rapping on stardom’s doorway. Instead, the improvements have been marginal, the progress fraught with setbacks.
Fortunately, another wave of gift is prepared to overtake the one which showed up soon following the Williams deal. Frenchman Rudy Gobert could become the Roy Hibbert, also Dante Exum may be the next superstar of Utah.
Or, both might struggle through the very same fits and starts as Favors, Kanter and Hayward. You can never be certain.
1 certainty: Alec Burks is a man. And me scare.
In case Tyrone Corbin was hindering progress, perhaps his dismissal will alter things. New head coach Quin Snyder has proven some innovative touches during the preseason, and the Jazz are becoming better looks. Even though they’re still shooting roughly 19 threes per game (right around the amount they taken last year)they rank first among all preseason squads in long-distance accuracy with a trendy 37.1 percent.
The youth movement’s wave begins this year. There will not be a title talk, and the playoffs are a pipe dream. But there’s no shortage of potential.
